What is it about a lighthouse that continues to intrigue us, even as its importance to navigation wanes? What draws people to them? Why have lighthouses inspired so many artists in the literary and art worlds?

Following Mr. D’Entremont’s talk, participate in a conversation about Connecticut’s iconic lighthouses with Elizabeth Wood, the new Director at the Stonington Historical Society, and Susan Tamulevich, Director of the New London Maritime Society and the Custom House Maritime Museum.

The conversation will be moderated by the Connecticut Network’s (CT-N) Diane Smith and the program is co-sponsored by the Judy Dworin Performance Project. Don’t miss the premiere of Lighthouse on April 17 and 18 at The Wadsworth at 7:30pm each night. Visit www.judydworin.org to learn more.
